	Powerful tool for advanced users! You can customize EarMaster more than any other ear training tool! There are a lot of settings for the user interface and for the way you use EarMaster. While you work with a lesson you can change clefs, time limits, input methods, tempo, sounds, etc. EarMaster also allows you to use your MIDI instrument to insert tones and rhythms, or as a remote control! There are also keyboard shortcuts to all features. A great feature is that you can make your own custom tuned string instrument for inserting and displaying the tones on the screen. Even left handed string instruments are possible! screenshots: (exercise settings) (string tuning) (remote control)

	Customized exercises! In the customized mode you are in control of the exercises and you can configure them to do exactly what you want! You can customize pitch ranges, keys and meters, how the chord or interval should be placed in the keys, how intervals and chords are played, and you can specify exactly what intervals, chords and rhythm values to work with, and much more. You can of course also define your own customized chords, scales and chord progressions! screenshots: (melodic setup) (rhythm setup) (chord setup)

	Instant feedback! EarMaster gives instant audiovisual feedback on everything you do! The tones you enter are transcribed simultaneously on the staff and on the on-screen instruments. When you submit your answer, EarMaster will tell if your answer is wrong. Your answer and the correct answer will be shown on the staff and instruments, and you can hear both individually. This is a very effective learning process where you learn from your errors and improve your ear faster than with any other training method! screenshots: (wrong answer) (correct answer)

	Guitar, piano, bass, violin, cello, ... ! Make ear training a musical project by relating it to an instrument you play! EarMaster is designed for musicians playing almost any instrument. You can interact with EarMaster in a multitude of ways. EarMaster supports onscreen piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo and any other customized string instrument! Using General MIDI, you can utilize all of the 128 instruments and sounds. EarMaster also comes with real-time Sound2MIDI technology that allows you to sing and clap your answer using a microphone - and to play your answer on your favorite instrument! You can also use the onscreen staff, multiple-choice, or use MIDI input from keyboards and other MIDI-devices. screenshots: (answer input) (guitar tuner)

	Detailed statistics on your progress! You can monitor your progress by viewing the detailed statistics about your performance! Has your ear improved at identifying the minor 7th chord? What progress have you made in the past two weeks? Are you answering faster? How much time did you spend on ear training during the past month? EarMaster will provide all this information for you! screenshots: (statistics window) (high score)

	Pass your ear training exams! Do you need to pass an ear training exam in a near future? EarMaster allows you to test your self at home in similar conditions as an actual ear training exam! Any tutor lesson or customized exercise can be turned into a strict and merciless test! Did you miss identifying the chord? Too bad, because I will not play it again! And I need your answer in 10 seconds! screenshots: (exercise settings)

	Easy to use for beginners! EarMaster is very suitable for beginners. It is intuitive and has a user-friendly interface. Even kids can use it!

PERFECT PITCH - EBOOK/PDF VERSION
		Many people are surprised to hear that perfect pitch is learnable, but it is. By definition, perfect pitch is the ability to recognize the sound and identity of a note by itself without using another pitch or key center as a reference. Using this book and the accompanying 344 MP3s will get you there. The files consist of 86 pitches from an acoustic piano at 4 different lengths of 12, 6, 4, and 1 seconds. The differing time lengths allow students to tailor their practice to their own daily schedule, and to create their own exercise regimens. Explanations guide the student into a productive work method, one that has been successfully used by the author in his 30 year career as a music instructor. Perfect Pitch ear training can be used by students with little or no prior musical training. Since the audio files are MP3s you will need an MP3 player, preferably a portable one, to get the most out of the course. With discipline, motivation and patience, you can have perfect pitch. Written in standard notation (no TAB). 23 pages and 344 MP3's included.	Our Price: US$15.00 click to see more
